Flying Sheep

The Sheep is to fly home to become an "independent." The sheep is to tear away any connections with his family in order to live an "independent" life. "Independent," of course, in the highly esteemed opinions of first generation immigrants working in the Home Office.

Ah well. Such is the irony of life. How strange that a family who has been here in the UK for 8 years, living off our own funds, working, paying taxes, never claimed a single penny of benefits, is now in the process of appealing the IND's decision to refuse their stay.

Fortunately, the Sheep's company is seeking to help ensure that he keeps his job. The company's lawyers advised him to fly home as soon as possible, so that they can start working their arcane arts to get me back. The Sheep's company has been highly supportive thus far. Hopefully, this isn't a ploy to kick him home for good :)
